One World Handcrafts is a eclectic little shop on main street in North Manchester, IN. It has been…read morethere for years and I make sure to visit it every time I make it to the area every time I come out to visit relatives. One World carries a whole multitude of interesting hand-made products crafted all over the world. The biggest difference between One World and every other place you might buy from is that One World is part of a movement called Fair Trade. That is, they actually pay people in other countries a fair wage for the sweat off their brow. We always find something interesting when we visit and the staff is always great. Businesses like One World deserve to be patronized!

We found Caroline's at the one stop shop hop a few years ago and have been wanting to visit her store. We were not disappointed. I do not think I could say one bad, negative thing. Everyone was so friendly. So helpful. My friend was picking fabrics for a small wall hanging. This is her first foray into civil war, reproduction fabrics. Caroline was so enthusiastic, it was inspiring to watch. She explained what she was thinking and looking for in her color choices. I bought three kits. I never, ever buy kits. The fun is choosing fabrics, right? But her color sense is beyond belief. I can't wait to get home and start sewing ! I can't wait to go back. Please visit. If you are a quilter, you won't be disappointed.

Physically it kept surprising me, there were more and more tiny rooms stuffed with yarny goodness. There is very creative us of space to put as much fiber as possible into a cosy and welcoming space. There's a good variety of fibers and also a variety of prices. The selection is not huge but it is more than several small stores I have been to. I certainly found more there that I wanted to purchase than I had budgeted for! There is yarn all the way from a good sturdy machine washable Encore to luscious angora and lovely hand dyed sock yarns suitable for envy inspiring socks or shawls. It's on an easy to access main street, with plenty of parking in front as well as next door. There are also several good food options available within walking distance, or a very short drive. I'll certainly return to this friendly and dangerous (to the wallet!!) yarn shop. Oh, and just in case you pass out from the yarn fumes and need to be revived, there's a good hospital right across the street!

On one side of the shop, they have fibers, floss, beads, etc. The other side has piles and piles of fabric, neatly arranged. In the middle, it's patterns (and some notions) as far as the eye can see. I found their selection to be very complete, and the employees were particularly delightful! It probably helped that it was a slick, snowy day, and they were impressed I had come by, since nobody was really on the streets at all. Some highlights: - I overheard one of the salespeople organizing a sale via the phone, so their online and "phone it in" orders seem robust. She said the order would go out in the mail that day, and I saw her taking a good amount of time to choose the couple of fabrics that would most closely match the customer's request, and give a recommendation as to which one the customer would actually buy. - To illustrate fabric count, they had a wall hanging of the same design stitched on four differently-sized fabrics, which was neat - They had lots of finishing supplies to help even the most indecisive person figure out how they want to finish - Their store models obviously came from years and years of stitching, so I imagine the collective knowledge in the store was pretty impressive. So if you're into needlework, it's worthwhile to check out. Especially if you're from Chicago it's worthwhile to make the short trip.
